I've had my tires for about 9k miles. The rears are almost bald.

Burn through tires without remorse. Track the car and replace bits that break.
Had the car just over a year and lost my licence 2 times.

I take it fairly easy on the car while typically shifting around 3-4k. I try to get it to redline atleast once a day (if the traffic permits). I plan on keeping the car for a while, so I take very good care of it. Oh, and tires are not cheap.

Then you are definitely in control...

A wise man once said... "You are not in control... Unless.. You are out of control!!"

I baby my car... but open it up 2 - 3 times per week when I go down the from Pasadena 101 westwards...

I have a real short drive to work. It barely even has the time to get properly warmed up so I drive pretty gentle there but anything more than that I kill it.
